This is our second time to get in this tip-top Decaf from Chiapas, Mexico's most famous coffee region.  We were so impressed with the sweetness, balance and quality last time, so we had to have more!

This coffee hails from the Santa Fé farm in Motozintla. This is very close to the Guatemalan border, and this area actually used to be Guatemalan territory until 1824. The farm itself is almost as old, dating back to 1855.

The decaffeination process Mountain Water is strikingly similar to that of many coffees we have stocked recently, using the Swiss Water Process. With the Mountain Water process, the coffee is soaked in water with dissolved coffee compounds in it, with the exception of caffeine, which can be filtered out. This causes the soaked beans to diffuse their caffeine into this solution to equalise the caffeine level with no concurrent equalisation produced for other compounds, including flavour compounds. The decaffeinated coffee can thus largely retain its flavour the use of any chemicals not found in coffee.

Enjoy your coffee well into the night!
